  • f
    are my main ponderances at this point
  • b
    You need to override fadeIn() and fadeOut() in your scenes classes
  • b
    by default, when you replace a scene, it will wait until the new scene preload has finished, then call 
    fadeOut(cb)
    of the previous scene and 
    fadeIn(cb)
    of the new scene at the same time.
  • b
    So you can do whatever transition code you need on both the previous and the new scene
  • f
    what if i wanted to have a loading screen? so the current scene starts fading to the loading screen immediately when the switch is called, then the loading screen fades into the next scene when it's done loading
  • b
    Then in that case you display the loading screen independently on top of the rest, like: 
    app.scenes.set('loading', loadingScene);
  • b
    (and set depth accordingly)
  • b
    You can now when a scene has finished loading with it's 
    status
    property
  • b
    (and 
    onStatusChange
    event)
  • g
    just started looking at the platformer example, what does the 
    component
    metadata do?
  • g
    and also, why is there no documentation for InputMaps?
  • b
    It's a way to assign a 
    Component
    object to an 
    Entity
    (Player is an Entity)
  • b
    The entity-component system of Ceramic deserve its own guide/article, which I haven't written already
  • b
    And regarding no doc for InputMap, well I'll look into it 😆
  • f
    i realize that a NineSlice but repeated (like I mentioned earlier) would be useful to both me and Ceramic
  • f
    Could I try making one and add it to Ceramic with a pull request?
  • f
    Although I'm not very familiar with git, I'm not sure how exactly I'd do that
  • e
    fork, clone your fork, make changes, push, make pr
  • g
    Ok, thanks
  • f
    @billowy-waiter-28954 I've made an alternate version of NineSlice called NineSliceRepeat which repeats the edges and center instead of just stretching them. What do you think? Is it worth a pull request?
  • f
    i take that back. i tried it in my own project and i think it needs a bit more refinement
  • b
    I’ll add the tiled option to the existing NineSlice eventually, like in gamemaker
  • b
    Your implementation is a bit different because it seems to be a mix of tiling and scaling to make the number of tiles round
  • f
    that's the way i would want it to be
  • f
    if the number you give lets it do it evenly, it will
  • f
    how would you do it?
  • b
    If the width is not matching exactly a number of tiles, complete with a cropped tile, that’s how gamemaker does it so far. A tile is never scaled (because that would be an issue with pixel perfect rendering etc…)
  • e
    a scaled option sounds like a good idea though
  • e
    as in have both
  • f
    i could see either cropping or stretching being better depending on what you're doing
